Subpart 5A—Base milk price Subpart 5A: inserted, on 27 July 2012, by section 14 of the Dairy Industry Restructuring Amendment Act 2012 (2012 No 51).

Purpose of subpart Heading: inserted, on 27 July 2012, by section 14 of the Dairy Industry Restructuring Amendment Act 2012 (2012 No 51).
150A Purpose of this subpart (1) (2) The purpose of this subpart is to promote the setting of a base milk price that provides an incentive to new co-op to operate efficiently while providing for contestability in the market for the purchase of milk from farmers.
For the purposes of this subpart, the setting of a base milk price provides for contestability in the market for the purchase of milk from farmers if any notional costs, revenues, or other assumptions taken into account in calculating the base milk price are practically feasible for an efficient processor.

Section 150A: inserted, on 27 July 2012, by section 14 of the Dairy Industry Restructuring Amend‐ ment Act 2012 (2012 No 51).
150B Certain assumptions do not detract from purpose of subpart It does not detract from the achievement of the purpose set out in section 150A that new co-op sets the base milk price using assumptions that include any of the following: (1) 104 Version as at 1 June 2023 Dairy Industry Restructuring Act 2001 Part 2 s 150C (a) (b) (c) (d) that new co-op operates a national network of facilities for the collection and processing of milk: that the size of new co-op’s assumed units of processing capacity approximates to the average size of new co-op’s actual units of process‐ ing capacity: that gains and losses experienced by new co-op resulting from foreign currency fluctuations, including from new co-op’s foreign currency risk- management strategies, are incorporated in the base milk price: that all milk collected by new co-op is processed into commodities at yields that are practically feasible.
(2) Subsection (1) does not extend to the way in which new co-op uses an assump‐ tion in setting the base milk price.

Section 150B(2): inserted, on 1 January 2023, by section 14 of the Dairy Industry Restructuring (Fonterra Capital Restructuring) Amendment Act 2022 (2022 No 67).
150C Setting of base milk price in way that is consistent with certain principles (1) For the achievement of the purpose set out in section 150A, the base milk price must be set in a way that is consistent with the following principles: (a) (b) revenue taken into account in calculating the base milk price is deter‐ mined from prices of a portfolio of commodities at the times that those commodities are contracted to be sold by new co-op: costs taken into account in calculating the base milk price include costs (including capital costs and a return on capital) of— (i) (ii) collecting milk; and processing milk into the same portfolio of commodities as the portfolio adopted for the purposes of paragraph (a); and (iii) selling those commodities: (c) new co-op collects all milk that it processes from the farms on which the milk is produced.
(2) For the purposes of subsection (1)(a) and (b)(ii), the portfolio of commodities must be determined having regard to the following: (a) in respect of the commodities included in the portfolio,— (i) (ii) the commodities that are likely to be the most profitable over a period not exceeding 5 years from the time when the portfolio is determined; and the need for commodities included in the portfolio to utilise all components of milk; and 105 Part 2 s 150CA Dairy Industry Restructuring Act 2001 Version as at 1 June 2023 (3) (4) (5) (b) in respect of the relative proportions of the commodities included in the portfolio, the quantities of commodities likely to be produced by new co- op based on— (i) (ii) the mix of commodities that are likely to be most profitable; and new co-op’s physical manufacturing capacity for the production of those commodities; and (iii) the need to utilise all components of the milk processed.
For the purposes of subsection (1)(b), any estimate of the return on capital must be made applying the capital asset pricing model.

For the purposes of subsection (3), the asset beta used in the application of the capital asset pricing model must be consistent with the estimated asset betas of other processors of dairy and other food products that are— (a) (b) traded in significant quantities in globally contested markets; and characterised by uniform technical specifications.
In subsection (4), asset beta means a measurement of a firm’s exposure to sys‐ tematic risk where systematic risk measures the extent to which the returns on a company fluctuate relative to the equity returns in the stock market as a whole.
